How can we possibly solve far-reaching problems of such immense proportions?

Collaboration, cooperation and shared commitment have been core values guiding the strategic plan that has served TNN’s clients and members for more than three decades.

TNN held steadfast in the belief that networking with individuals, foundations, corporations and other charitable programs was the most effective approach to serving the needs of those most vulnerable.

Its philosophy was based on a simple but profound truth that there is no substitute for the personal, time-intensive one-on-one listening and caring that are at the heart of all effective problem solving.

TNN’s Founder, Mary Cunningham Agee, continues to teach that every tangible resource … every pebble of compassion that we drop into the ocean of abuse ripples out to shores beyond our knowing. The very act of reaching out lays the groundwork for peace in our hearts, our homes our nations and our world.

She believes that together we can turn tears of sadness into hope and joy for a person in need … one life at a time. It is a calling that demands the very best we each have to offer.

"I plan to continue advocating for the unique needs of women and children throughout the world whose circumstances require much greater support. I hope to be an effective witness to the power of converting personal suffering to a powerful energy rooted in deeper compassion, greater awareness, and more authentic generosity.”
